- The thing is, most of the information I got from the Dedication plaque comparison article.--UTS DeLorean 03:04, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Plaque PeopleEdit
When creating these articles, if the person is named after a "real world" person involved with Star Trek, please make a note in their "(Starfleet)" article as to that effect, such as the one I added to Mike Vejar (Starfleet) this morning. Thanks much! -- Sulfur 13:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'll try, but I don't usually know who the real person is. --UTS DeLorean 19:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Usually person of the same name, especially if they have a '(Starfleet)' tag on them. At worst, use the preview button and put a link to the "real" person, and see if anything shows up, and check out that link to see who/what/etc they are or links to them. That's what I try to do. -- Sulfur 19:41, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Episode template Edit
Hi, I just want to note that you do not need to add the episode template to images by hand, we have a bot doing that for us without disturbing the recent changes. Also note that there doesn't belong any formatting around the template. -- Kobi 21:42, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- I thought maybe the bot missed them. As for the formatting, that's what it looked like when I saw it on another page.--UTS DeLorean 21:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
The Bot has skipped them, because the second quotation mark is missing ... those cases will be handled in the second run. However note that making the reference italic is no longer the style to use. -- Kobi 22:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Alright.--UTS DeLorean 22:13, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
